Having trouble getting mouse to work with VR

[Gun Jam]

Ive been getting use to VR and like it quite a bit as ive manged to work out most of the serious issues.

 

 

The last real problem is getting the mouse to initialize within a reasonable amount of time. It didnt seem to be an issue at first but now it takes as many restarts in an 8 to 10 minute time frame to get the damn mouse to finally work in DCS.

 

 

 

I cant seem to find a pattern that gets it to work the first or even to 12th time Ill start windows mixed reality for steam vr then dcs or steam VR then DCS. Or DCS and its starts WMR for steam and just flip between the 3 combos until it works.

 

 

This mouse d*** dance is getting old fast any tips?

 

 

 

Thanks

Go into Options-VR and set to use mouse you might also want to limit mouse to DC's as well.

You might have to turn off touch controllers too.

In DCS Vr use mouse is selected, touch controllers are off and Mouse is limited to DCS window. They have always been that way.

 

 

I figured as normal it was my MSFFB2 joystick causing problems I just unplugged that and still dont get mouse control on at least the first attempt.

 

 

When I pull the headset off I can see the mouse moving on the DCS window and it is indeed contained to the dcs window. When I put the headset back on I can see the mouse pointer where I left it but it dont move.

 

 

This is with samsung O+

 

 

any other ideas?

 

 

Thanks

Did you try clicking on the DCS window when you removed your headset. I had a similar issue where the desktop DCS window would sometimes lose focus because a window popped up, or I clicked when the mouse was at the very edge of the DCS window. Now I make sure that all windows are minimized except for DCS and that resolved 99% of the issue.

I did try removing the headset and clicking the window or minimizing it and re selecting it...that didnt seem to help.

 

 

However Ive had very good luck by not touching anything, putting on the headset which starts WMR software automatically, makes you look left, right then at the floor then put you in the little cliff house thing. I then take off the headset and start DCS...seems to nail it every time so far no issues.

Gun Jam - I had mouse issues with my Odyssey as well. I would open the game on the desktop and it would launch Steam VR and the game at the same time... sometimes it was hit or miss whether my mouse would work.

 

So I started opening it another way and I've never had a problem since! With nothing open, I put the headset on my head, which will launch Windows MR and put you in the house. From there, you should see a desktop screen that you can double click on and you launch the game from within Windows MR. Has always worked for me.
